My co-worker had a cleaning lady who named her newborn daughter, "Placenta". She heard the nurse or doctor say the word and thought it was a "real purty name"
I've heard stories like that before. I knew somebody who worked with a lady named Urethra - the mother had heard it used in the hospital and thought it sounded pretty!
My last name is Looney. We had lots of fun growing up. My sisters were Jennifer Lee, Billie Ann, Wendy Elaine and my brother is Dusty Lee..... I am Floyd Geron Looney.
Geron I suppose was shortened from Geronimo.
